His interviw on Fox 1. In the last minute of the segment he says that in 01,03,04 the team had the best D in the league, and now things are different. Sounds a little bit like an implied criticism. I agree with every word he said, but very uncharacteristic statement from TB.

Not surprising. The cap is at 122 million and he made 20 million in 2011. How many times do we have to go over why we lost SB 46?

What's his excuse for SB 42? THe D was loaded and experienced, ranked like 7th in the league or something.

It's BB's bend but don't break defense which ends up breaking. He almost lost the Giants SB against the Bills with the same type of defense. Look at those 3 SB's where the other team had the ball in the final minutes. All three teams... Bills, Giants, and Giants drove the length of the field in the final minutes to win the game. BB dodged a bullet with the Bills missed FG when he was def coordinator.

Listened to the entire interview, and I'd say that Brady did not throw the current defense under the bus. I think the statement within the context of the entire interview - he was saying how one really can't compare the 2001-2004 teams vs. 2007-2012 teams because the team makeup/strenths/weaknesses were different. He was also saying that he is always just trying to get better and find ways that the entire offense can get better.

First, he'd NEVER be caught saying something as inflammatory as this that would hang his team's current D completely out to dry on national TV...he's way to smart to do something so incredibly stupid.....

Second, even if this was some kind of Fraudian slip, isn't it true? The last few years the D hasn't been able to stop a Pop Warner "C" team when it counts... that's not TB's fault! I mean if the truth hurts, bring on the pain because that's the ONLY thing that will eventually cure it!

altho the recent D has improved, it's still not quite to the reputation of the 2001-2004 d

It's pretty obvious that the OP didn't watch the whole interview. The strength of those early 2000's team wasn't the offense, it was defense, now the strength of these teams from '07-present has been the Offense. I'm hoping that they have a more balanced team, just like Brady said..

Actually, I think it is more obvious that the OP did watch the whole interview and just wants to stir the pot.

That's worse than saying there were protection problems.

Does every word out of your yap have to be about a team nobody here cares about troll?

[and how many times do you need to be reminded tom brady left both sb's with a lead and an opponent with limited time and a long field?

And in 42 - AS dropped the INT, and there was a fluke helmet catch, and the Oline was flat- So the breaks finally went against them that year - they won at least 2 games - Balt for sure and the Giants almost - they coluld or should have lost - Sometimes the best team doesn't win -

And in 46 - TB did have the strange safety called against him ( but his fault), and the underthrown INT towards an injured Gronk - So he certainly gets some blame - at the same time he had NO other playmakers besides WW - and WW was getting beat up badly - And TB still had the lead with little time left - And Zowie Eli makes the perfect throw - while Chung was lined up wrong (per Herman Edwards (a former db and coach) at the time) and got there late.

BTW Montana ( before TB, my favorite QB) didn't always have great stats in playoff games - and he was 4-4 in Conference Championship games

I never thought that the Pats were getting to the SB before this year - they were turning their entire D over and they did not have great Offensive weapons unless Gronk and Ah were on the field at the same time- And really they weren't -

Stink on Mike aqnd Mike said - the Patriots were not a running team - that is -when they needed a few yards on the ground they couldn't get them -

As far as TB running the shotgun too much - I think the entire game plan is made up with BB and the coaches and TB follows the plan - As BB just said - he cannot always tell who made a mistake unless you know the responsibilities- He also alwasy says - after a loss - we could ahve played better and we could have coached better.

On one thing I agree with Rusty - I do like TB under center more. I feel the shotgun should be used against certain schemes and players on the field -then in conjunction with the hurr yup Offense the Pats are very difficult to play - and they are getting better with it

I am just a fan - I root for everyone of them to do well - I like rooting for the young players-

I also know that there will be games that they are outplayed, or out coached or just don't get the breaks.

And finally - TB said the exact right things in the interview - no surprise there
